Joya de Nicaragua Número Uno Le Premier Pack of 5 Cigars

Joya de Nicaragua and Drew Estate have been doing big things in the world of cigars recently, and many would argue that Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno Le Premier is the crowning achievement. The story behind this blend is that long before it became a commercially available cigar for purchase, it was a blend handed out as a diplomatic gift by Nicaraguan ambassadors and government officials to visiting dignitaries. It is also said that the blend was originally destined to be a special handout at Drew Estate events across the US. Nevertheless, Numero Uno is thankfully here for all of us to enjoy, and what a treat it is! Produced by individual pairs of cigar rollers at Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua, this blend is part of Joya de Nicaragua’s Obras Maestras series, translated simply as “Masterpieces,” the brand’s most limited and sought-after products. On the surface, Numero Uno seems to be a simple blend, using Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos and an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper leaf. In reality, however, this cigar is a high-end performer and offers some of the most luxurious flavor available on today’s market. Don’t believe us? We can let the 95 rating in Cigar Aficionado do the talking, along with the high placing Numero Uno earned on the Top 25 list for 2020.

Packaged in beautiful blue and white boxes and wearing matching bands, Numero Uno’s packaging is almost as notable as the appearance of the vitolas themselves. Each stick is masterfully rolled, finished with a fantail cap and built with the utmost attention to every aspect of construction. An easy draw lends to copious amounts of thick white smoke which greets the palate upon first light with a medley of cream and nuts. Light white pepper holds a presence in the background, and the core holding everything together is rich raw tobacco flavor. Notes of bread, dark chocolate, and sweetness also join the mix, and the finish is heavy on the floral side. Overall, this blend falls dead center of the scale at medium-bodied. At 6 7/8” x 48, Le Premier is the closest thing the brand has to offer to a Churchill, and it really provides an opulent experience.

Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno is meant for the most experienced and discriminating connoisseurs in the world. Sure, a beginner could certainly handle a cigar of this stature, but to thoroughly appreciate all the complexity and goodness Numero Uno has to offer, a well-seasoned palate is a must. It pairs well with bourbon or scotch and is a luxurious way to celebrate life’s special events. Fans of higher-end Connecticut cigars such as Ashton Classic or Padron Damaso will likely find Numero Uno to be quite satisfying. If you think about it, it really is amazing that a cigar once used exclusively as a gift to diplomatic officials and heads of state is now available to everyone. Enjoy a Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno Le Premier today and experience one of the recent masterpieces of the cigar world.
